Tropical Weather.

Well haven't we had some real tropical weather here in Perth over the last few weeks. It built up over a few days thanks to a stationary trough off the west coast then exploded into 3 days of storms. I was fortunate enough to capture some of it on camera, starting with this time lapse from my back yard.





The storm then carried on for most of the night and I was able to get this great footage from my GoPro at the front of the house, unfortunately due to the housing the sound is not great.


 I took my dog for a walk the following morning and took my camera with me as it looked like another storm cell was rolling down the coast. We set up between Ocean Reef and Burns Beach and I was lucky to capture a couple of lightning strikes before the rain drove us back inside.






The following day the trough slipped inland and we had a welcome reprieve from the humidity in the form of a cooling afternoon sea breeze. I was thankful for the cooler weather but I do like the opportunity to take some good storm photos and video when it crops up.
